Danni

Danni had tons of ideas and provided direction when it came to crafting a great cocktail hour at our company's in-office Happy Hour event. She arrived promptly and kept everyone's glasses filled. While the gig was short, she was truly a team player and rolled with the punches. I would hire her again.

Danni is a very nice person, but unfortunately there were some things that left a little bit to be desired about our experience working with her :-/

Our wedding party was postponed multiple times during covid, and we were very excited to finally get to be able to have the event. Danni was very flexible and easy with rescheduling multiple times which was great, and we appreciate that.

When we finally settled on a final date, about 6 weeks out we arranged a video chat with Danni to go over our special drink list and our shopping menu. The call got cut off due to Danni's phone running out of charge, no big deal, although when she called back she was cleaning her bathroom toilet while we talked, which was sort of awkward and unprofessional. She told us she would get us a shopping list by 2 weeks before our wedding party. That date came, and we hadn't gotten the list yet, so I reached out to Danni to ask what happened and she explained that she had moved and that's why she hadn't gotten the list together yet. She then asked if we could essentially remind her all the things we went over in our video chat as she had misplaced her notes. That was a little frustrating, but thankfully she found her notes and got us the list later that evening.

Fast forward to the day before the event, and Danni was texting me at 11:30PM the night before the event to ask questions that we had definitely already answered in our previous interactions. She texted me more about an hour and a half before I was expecting my guests to arrive to again ask some questions about her wardrobe we had already gone over. We had a lot to worry about and it was a little frustrating to have go over details and answer questions that had already been confirmed while we were trying to juggle a lot of other things at once. Danni did wear an event-appropriate brightly colored island dress, which went perfectly with our theme, so that was great.

At the event, Danni didn't bring the salts and sugars she promised she would use to rim the glasses, and also didn't even use the margarita salt we provided for her. The sugar and salts were a big attraction for us - one of the main reasons we hired her - and we were very disappointed she left those at home after she promised she'd provide them. Some of the drinks were good, but some of the drinks we asked her to make, weren't right at all - we wanted a blended frozen pineapple margarita and the one I had was a strong plain margarita on the rocks with slices of pineapple simply sitting at the bottom of the glass. Perhaps that's because she was a bit inexperienced with blended drinks - or at least that's how it seems as she had a bit of trouble with the blenders we provided. She also took a very long time to make drinks I asked for, and I had to ask multiple times for several orders. It was a little more like the experience of trying to get the bartender's attention at a crowded bar than I was hoping it would be, and our event had less than 60 people at it and never more than 2-3 people trying to get a drink at once. In the second half of our event, my wife says Danni was frequently in the bathroom to the point that our guests ended up going behind the bar and starting to make their own drinks. And finally, Danni had told me she would wear a mask for the event and ended up taking it off and leaving it off for the majority of the time. I know the event was outside, but that was something we specifically discussed and we weren't thrilled about that.

I'm not sure what happened - again, Danni seems like a very nice person, and maybe she just had an off day - but overall this was not the best experience for us.

What a fantastic duo Danni and Shay make. The party went smooth and the drinks flowed. They made amazing blended and non blended drink. They are a must try

Danni was a joy. Her drinks were wonderful her energy was even better. She made herself a part of the event. She made shopping easy, created me a list that was very easy to follow. Would definitely use again.
